Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The absence of any planning obligation to secure an affordable housing contribution, despite the agreed viability assessment showing the scheme could provide some.
The proposal conflicted with the development plan's affordable housing requirements and there were no other considerations to outweigh this conflict, so the appeal was dismissed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP36
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
